    @posabule Glitch be sounding logical🤔She wasnt there when I logged on like an hour ago... Who be pressing random buttons in the overwatch hq?!

  • Jopesy pretty boy seb (@Jopesy) reported

    Highkey, overwatch should just introduce like five new hero's rushed through that are vulnerable to CC. CC is already a problem in OW so it would make no difference but at least it would be fun

  • lunyanii lune ♡ (@lunyanii) reported

    @Venus_stuff4 you- i- what. when i played overwatch ps4 i had an alt but switched to it and barely used my old acc or another alt, having 8 accs is smth i can never do, maybe its the commitment issues 😭😭

  • VTuberQueen Sass Queen ♡ | VTuberQueen (@VTuberQueen) reported

    Morning all!! Hope you all have a wonderful day!! I’m going to be offline for a few hours 🥲… Internet Technician is coming over. so let’s hope they can fix my situation 🙃 I’ll update you all here before I go live later w/ #Overwatch & #DeadbyDaylgiht 💙

  • VsTheStream Nick-VS (@VsTheStream) reported

    @yayBBQ_ I mean I would be happy with OVERWATCH 2 if it was coming this year but it likely won’t even be next year from the sounds of these delays! So we are just expected to play the game with its current roster for 3 years straight? It doesn’t cut it in today’s world of games of service

  • Themoldysausage TheMoldySausage (@Themoldysausage) reported

    @ellewasamistake I knew Overwatch had broken me when I was angry that the second one didn't say "This" I need therapy

  • hatena_anomaly Eternal_Cosmic_Anomaly (@hatena_anomaly) reported

    Uk all blizzard has to do is fix overwatch 1, maybe make it f2p and boom all the hype will come back. Scrap ow2 if u have to.

  • DJK77877238 Dan Kirkby ⓥ Ⓦ (@DJK77877238) reported

    @CTVNews I didn’t realize Verterns Affairs had staff assigned to provide veteran overwatch. Personally, I’ve only been contacted once since leaving the Army in 2012. In general, the entire Canadian system post service is pretty disgraceful compared to our allies

  • zephyrtyr ZephyrTyr (@zephyrtyr) reported

    Zenyatta is possibly the most broken character in Overwatch…and it’s just facts. Don’t @ me

  • MrBusinessman69 Mr. Businessman (@MrBusinessman69) reported

    @valvesoftware We have been waiting YEARS for a major update for tf2, and I think we both know Overwatch 2 will flop hard, why you may ask? Because they have a dyeing player base, you however don't have they same problem so please can we get a Heavy update. #MakeHeavyUpdate

  • marble_dove 🕊 marble dove 🕊 (@marble_dove) reported

    @popotohime so I noticed I actually have this less in ffxiv than other games (namely overwatch, idk if i tweeted about it but i had this issue in it a LOT) and i think it has to do with my character size? time to try making miss makoto as a femroe :3

  • BaraArchery Adrian | B-L-M (@BaraArchery) reported

    @Myrverion I mean Overwatch was similar I guess. They pushed for pro play, despite Ranked and the balance being massive jokes. They refused to nerf dive, so they introduced a broken support, who then caused a meta that they couldn't balance so they changed how the game worked, as a result.

  • JpOuterHaven 💚🎃John🎃💚 (@JpOuterHaven) reported

    @ComicBook Its simple. Make a traditional Super Hero game. Great gameplay, solid story, free alternate skins, Chargeable DLC. Thats it. Stop trying to copy modern trends like Overwatch/Destiny/Fortnite Online bullshit. Arkham series & SpideyPS4 proved the wheel ain't broke. Don't fix it.

  • lylaraw lyla (@lylaraw) reported

    overwatch 2 might fix the fundamental flaws of the first one imo

  • Andex03301556 Andex (@Andex03301556) reported

    @bear_tubby @YourOverwatchYT He said he preferred 321 and liked a more fps style Overwatch. So quiting over 5v5 doesn't make sense. Not enough tanks is everyone problem. In open Q lack of tanks causes toxicity and you never know what kind of game you'll get. In 222 dps get hour Q & 4K tanks get gold games...

  • FraudSamuel False (@FraudSamuel) reported

    @TripleZed123 @Cazzuel @H3CZ That’s not the reason tho, overwatch killed their scene with broken patches and the same stale gameplay over and over again

  • WockOnIce ai 🍊 (@WockOnIce) reported

    @The_Ult_Brick @gunners_chat @mokeysniper Apex, Overwatch, Borderlands, Duke Nukem 3D, list goes on and on, games putting way too many details on the map like ******* broken rocks and ****

  • SuperrodanDotA Superrodan (@SuperrodanDotA) reported

    @artifazol Overwatch does not work for communication reports or the "smurfing/matchmaking abuse" type of reports. Maybe if every replay recorded voice comms and team chat, but that introduces even bigger problems.

  • koffeetimee koffee pink princex alien 👾⭐️ BACK IN DEC. (@koffeetimee) reported

    i don’t even think apex will download quickly but,,, from memory i could play overwatch so,, lag maybe,, won’t be bad,,,?

  • JasonSilva182 Jason S (@JasonSilva182) reported

    @BlizzardCS is there an issue with latency on east coast overwatch for ps4? cant seem to play any game without 150+ ping and my connection works fine for everything else

  • stumpi123 James (@stumpi123) reported

    @KinguinNet Sure, I was relentlessly flamed in overwatch until I got better. I wanted to improve so that I wasn’t in a constant state of anxiety, it worked :D Toxicity can be a problem when it becomes personal, but toxicity surrounding gameplay drives people to improve

  • hoji_kuh hoji (@hoji_kuh) reported

    ok i literally crash at least once a game now. Can't play and dont know how to fix. I have reinstalled overwatch, I dont run any other application except for OW but i still crash

  • arnonymous21 Arnonymous (@arnonymous21) reported

    Okay can some please explain to me how overwatch 2 is being delayed another year when all that is left is balancing? How can you balance a competitive shooter with out a closed or open beta? We deserve some content even if it’s scuffed and broken not a “lol wait another 2 years”

  • twixty9 Krark but with thumbs (@twixty9) reported

    @Splitgate I legit can NOT play contamination anymore. It was my favorite mode but people cheat the stages and it pisses me off more than an overwatch smurf account. I hope you can fix this issue.

  • Sakume_ 쿠엔틴 (@Sakume_) reported

    It's really time to fix real problem now in your poor baby named overwatch.. In the futur stop buff broken heros just watch the heros need buff.

  • moghilemear13 邦尼王子查理 (@moghilemear13) reported

    @oldking420 @XianyangCB I think that's the issue - without obvious filters like height, there will be more kids in esports academies that flame out with little to show for it. Bball/soccer also have more longevity - in 5 years, maybe League or Overwatch esports are dead and you have to learn a new game

  • _sIipstream ⿻。 ‍ ‍ 𝑳𝑬𝑵𝑨 𝑶𝑿𝑻𝑶𝑵 (@_sIipstream) reported

    « issue with her role within Overwatch, her work as a vigilante have her respect within the community — and given that she took up the opportunity to return to the RAF, she was in — decent favor with her government too.

  • BrianMi13 Brian Mi (@BrianMi13) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can we just talk about how ‘Crash Landing on You’ from Netflix just used an overwatch sound effect? Ep13 36:48

  • TheBounty17 Bonty (@TheBounty17) reported

    Oh and I know there’s lots of things goin around at blizzard and I respect their decision to delay overwatch 2 until possibly 2023 but how many times have they delayed the game? I’ve been sitting here for like a long time and every few months it’s always “Overwatch 2 Issues”.

  • dontbrued RJR (@dontbrued) reported

    There is no greater toxic game play than bronze league in Overwatch @Blizzard_Ent your game is beyond broken…3 games in a row with mfs blatantly throwing—and gloating about it
